Just one further morsel as food for thought. The most likely time you will regret not being more assertive at this time, will be at a very happy point in the future.

There are bound to be happy times ahead as well. Although I've got to admit it's debatable whether you will regret your current actions.... possibly not is a real likelyhood, especially considering your caring profession, which to my mind equates to higher moral values.

Best of luck :thumbup:

My response was aimed more at the boys circling the wagons, Pol. I don't know enough about Bernie's specific situation to comment, and I probably wouldn't comment on an open forum anyway.

Squabble over you, Bernie? Admit it, you love it!

I understand your desire to make it difficult for her, but is it worth dragging it out for a fleeting feeling of revenge?

Admittedly a few do - I know a woman who has done very nicely out of several divorces and broken relationships despite having no kids to provide for.

However like others here I walked away with only my dignity and started again. I let myself be made out as the bad bitch for the sake of peace and to preserve his reputation among our many mutual friends and colleagues, and still only a handful of people know just what I put up with before I realised I needed to get out with my sanity (almost) intact.

So please, guys, less of the stereotyping based on your own shit choice in women.

I think these comments might come under the 'caustic' heading.

I concur. Labelling women as succubusses due to a bad experience is wrong.
It is understandable though and please give the wee man some leeway!!

Hmmm probably more Astringent or acerbic would have been a better handle.

I was but I wouldn't be much help as I was a prosecutor. FWIW I would just sign the papers. Until it is finalised you can't move on and it is like a heavy cloud hanging overhead. Anger and bitterness are such a waste of energy and emotions and make the person not very nice company to be around if it eats away at them too much. Shake yourself down, sign the papers, hold your head in the air with shoulders back and walk away with pride.
